Method and apparatus for coherent imaging system |
摘要 |
A method and apparatus for improved digital processing of the analog echo signals in a coherent imaging system is described which simplifies the channel circuitry requirements. The analog echo signals detected with a phased array of transducer elements are first compressed in a non-linear manner then expanded non-linearly with analog-to-digital converter means to provide increased instantaneous dynamic range in the overall system. Representative phased array coherent imaging systems having the improved digital processing means are also disclosed.
